  Champagne \Cham*pagne"\, n. [F. See {Champaign}.]
     A light wine, of several kinds, originally made in the
     province of Champagne, in France.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Champagne properly includes several kinds not only of


           sparkling but of still wines; but in America the term
           is usually restricted to wines which effervesce.
